It is the color of your flava that makes the rainbow dull in comparison, and it is via your beauty that we can physically witness God’s artistry. • O black woman, do you know who you are?

Just to contemplate them all brings on monumental stress. The right to breath is a consequence in the moment you are born.

It seems so simplistic when we look out beyond the eyes birth to us as we create a rational that determines what is acceptable. It is quite elemental when you step all the way back to the moment of birth and use your primitive thoughts before behavior is rehearsed, it is a primordial illusion of what we are taught as correct, being forbidden to inquiry as to that cardinal rule, this is why we stumble through life questioning what is best. It is a foundational notion to the original plan. We do our best to comprehend but we fail to understand…
